The BOOST Task Force is exploring how we can better welcome and support individuals and families who experience neurodiversity – both at home and within our church communities.

Neurodiversity refers to the natural variation in human brains and how they function, learn, and interact with the world. Some neurodivergent conditions include but are not limited to: Autism, ADHD and Dyslexia, for example.

We’re inviting you to take part in a short, confidential online survey about experiences with neurodiversity as a member of the Diocese of Newark. Your insights will help guide our efforts to make our churches more inclusive, compassionate, and responsive to all.

Please take a few minutes to share your perspective at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZKZXWGQ

Together, we can build a more welcoming and supportive church family for everyone.
